Tis such a weird situation at the moment. Theres been a rumor that Demonoid basically shut itself down after Oink got closed down and waited till the climate cooled down.

Demonoid have been having trouble with various copyright and royalty organizations, they've been moving between The Netherlands, Canada, Malaysia, Ukraine... The original admin, Demos, got sick of it and had some personal matters so handed the whole lot over to some new guy, who fired the whole thing back up again.
I've never really used TorrentSpy. If you want torrents, check either Demonoid (if you're a member) or search on
http://www.torrentz.com (although they seem to be filtering these days),
http://www.pizzatorrent.com,
http://www.youtorrent.com. Usually you'll find what you need on either
http://www.mininova.org or
http://www.thepiratebay.org

TorrentSpy was good....what? 4 years ago?
I'm happy that damn site is down. No, I'm not clicking on your goddamn nudie sponsors, and 3/4 of torrents on there were always dead anyway.

Is Demonoid being a bitch for other people too or is it just me?

So is isohunt.com considered inferior then? Because it's what I use, and it's never done me any wrong.
I was gutted when Oink got shut down, I'd only just signed up and had about 20gb of music on the go. It felt like someone died

I keep having to reload pages a couple of times before they show up. A friend complained about it too, not sure what's going on.

Actually my problem with Demonoid at the moment is the fact that anything i try to open in utorrent doesnt get any connection to a host or any seeds...and i mean every thing i've tried to download...

If you're using a router, do you have the ports forwarded properly? Do torrents from other trackers work?
I think people throughout the country have trouble with Demonoid, I can access it properly using one of those fancy online proxies. Tis not very nice
